arm64: uaccess: permit __smp_store_release() to use zero register

Currently the asm constraints for __smp_store_release() require that the
value is placed in a "real" GPR (i.e. one other than [XW]ZR or SP).
This means that for cases such as:

    __smp_store_release(ptr, 0)

... the compiler has to move '0' into "real" GPR, e.g.

    mov     xN, #0
    stlr    xN, [<addr>]

This is unfortunate, as using the zero register would require fewer
instructions and save a "real" GPR for other usage, allowing the
compiler to generate:

    stlr    xzr, [<addr>]

Modify the asm constaints for __smp_store_release() to permit the use of
the zero register for the value.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.
